@glyphiks is pregnant???

Shhhh! He hasnā€™t told @BillGordon yet.

Iā€™m not sure what is better, having no ideas and getting to be able to ride it sooner, or having too many cool ideas. :thinking:

Iā€™m sure they were limited in what they could do for you though so all my ideas would have been useless

The former

Save the ideas for the next one

But if you say that for every build, then you will just end up with a bunch of ugly boards :weary:

I will admit that some of my ideas right now are probably way more involved than anyone else would ever bother to do. The main one right now is making some stencils so I can make any metal hardware have designs on them without loosing the strength given by enamel spray paint.

More text under here if anyone is bored and wants to read more details about it

Wouldnā€™t take that long but youā€™d either need to be skilled enough with cutting and making stencils already, or know how to make a computer aided design and get it laser cut. Iā€™d just do it by hand since there is no limit to detail that way and I donā€™t have any software to make files anyway. also my graphing tablet hates to work properly which makes it impossible to use when having two monitors since it wonā€™t map to just one section of one monitor

Also if the metal gets damaged it isnā€™t too sad since you can easily recreate the art at least a few times before the stencil is destroyed. Unless you use a thin plastic sheet that can hold up to harsh chemicals and you wash the paint off after using it.

That is a plan for future-future me though. I was considering doing a simple design on the new bracket I have arriving today but then I realized that the design would clash with the planned design for the bottom of the deck and the top of it possibly. Doing it on the top also gives very little room to even see the design.


Iā€™d also need to buy paint that will specifically work best on top of epoxy, and then Iā€™d have little to no use for the paint for any other parts

Is the deck hereā€¦

ā€¦a seat? ā€¦

ā€¦or something to stand on?

I believe this is the intended use:

Thank you, itā€™s insane how good it feels. Itā€™s really unfortunate that thereā€™s no other way to use 165 mm and smaller trucks but HUB motors. Hopefully another company uses ride unlimited loaded hub tech or makes something better

From my understanding from the new owner. Accident and it went full speed into the side of a wall at a velodrome :smiling_face_with_tear:

I donā€™t know why I find that so funny, itā€™s actually horrifying.
